Thoughts on the painting of, and playing with, toy soldiers.

Inside a miniatures factory

I guess most hobbyists have a theoretical knowledge of how miniatures are made: someone sculpts a master or “green”, from which a mould is then made, and miniatures are cast from metal, resin or plastic using the mould (sometimes spun in a centrifuge, or pressurised to get rid of bubbles). But until just now I’d never seen what a miniatures production line looks like.

About

I’ve been a gamer and hobbyist for over thirty years: my first love is 6mm “Epic”, but I also play 28mm and 15mm and spaceship games. My personal preference is for SF but I still enjoy fantasy and historical games. This blog records my hobbyist activities.
